With only 35 programme available for the game against Wakefield quite a few people asked whether any where available during and after the game. As a result we're making the PDF version available to download for free from the link below:
Wellers sign James
Wellers have signed former Doncaster Rovers and Hyde United midfielder Morgan James from Frickley Athletic on deadline day. James joins us with a two game suspension, however as Frickley have just two matches remaining it will allow the player to make five appearances for the club before the summer break. Morgan will be available for the final away trip of the season at Clay Cross. Wellers sign Lindley
19 year old midfielder Josh Lindley is the latest addition to the Wombwell Town squad following the completion of his move from Wakefield AFC. The former Doncaster Rovers prospect has gained valuable experience at Ossett United and made 9 appearances for Selby Town before joining Wakefield for a brief spell. We thank Wakefield for their help in making the transfer go smoothly. Recreation Ground Update
Another huge step to improve our Recreation Ground home has started. On Tuesday diggers were brought in to start the foundations for our new pitch barrier and hard standing around the pitch. With many thanks to the Recreation Ground Trustees, we are now able to bring supporters closer to the action. The changes to the ground will see part of the old athletics cinder track be replaced. The Recreation Ground was initially built in the 60s to accommodate many sports, including athletics and football. However, the athletics club's numbers fell to single figures by the mid-2010s and when secretary and coach Janette Tomlins' health worsened athletics at the stadium became dormant. A lack of a revival since Covid has given Wombwell Town the opportunity to grow and flourish and the work around the pitch will allow a bigger capacity attendance and, more importantly, give supporters the chance to stand behind the goal and down the side where the dugouts are situated. The work will continue and be completed in the next couple of weeks with more work to start at the ground shortly, which will allow spectators to enter the ground, park, and then walk in through the turnstile and pay. This is seen as a major bullet point in our progress and the club would also like to thank Barnsley Council, the Football Foundation, and the FA for their full support. Wellers sign Wood
Long term target Joe Wood has completed his transfer from Nostell MW. The 25 year-old winger with pace to burn played under Jason Dodsworth at Nostell during his spell as manager there and it is hoped he will cause defenders problems as we finish the season. Wellers sign Plater
19-year-old winger Rhys Plater has joined Wombwell Town from Worsbrough Bridge, but is also on duel registration with Ossett United. Plater played against the Wellers at the start of the season for Armthorpe Welfare where he was a regular last season and helped the team progress to 8th in Division One. This season, for Ossett United, he scored a hat-trick against Barnoldswick Town in the West Yorkshire County Cup. In the next match Plater scored his first goal at step 4 as they beat Winterton Rangers 4-2. We hope Rhys will be able to join his new Wellers team mates in a match day squad soon. The club would like to thank Worsbrough Bridge for their help with the transfer. Game Postponed - PDF Programme Available
Due to a waterlogged pitch our home game against Nostell MW became the 11th overall postponed game for the 2023/24 season. Roughly four to six hours of free time is spent creating the programme for each of our games, so not to waste the effort put into the Nostell edition we've made the PDF version available to download for free.
Wellers sign Nelthorpe
Wombwell Town have today signed the experienced Craig Nelthorpe from Handsworth FC. The 36 year-old can play in numerous positions, but started life as a winger for Doncaster Rovers where he made 10 appearances for the first team, including loan spells at the likes of Halifax and Gateshead before transferring to Oxford United in January 2009. Spells at York City, Barrow and Luton followed before joining Gateshead permanently once again in the (now known) National League. 'Nelly' has also enjoyed spells with Gainsborough Trinity, Matlock Town, Belper Town and Ossett Albion amongst others, but this season was plying his trade with Handsworth FC in the NCEL Premier Division where he made almost 20 appearances before signing for the Wellers this morning. Nelthorpe will be available for selection tomorrow, should the game at Louth Town survive a 10:30am pitch inspection. Photos of Craig Nelthorpe during his time with Gateshead.
